Yes, the world if "info-tainment" (or what Stewart or Colbert called "newsertainment"). It seems to be the norm nowadays... with seemingly EVERYTHING a "breaking" news story. Unfortunately, William's story has morphed from the truth (small arms fire to his helicopter) to has migration to a downed helicopter. Who knows why.
Seems that most of these anchors fancy themselves as celebrities (e.g., Dan Rather)... and maybe that's the problem.
One thing that is also unfortunately the case here is that this has become fuel for the conservative vs. liberal positions (with respect to newscasters - or the perception of network bias).
But while we're at it... here's more fun. :highly_amused:
